In order to carry out actions of national interest, there were several special banks in Somerland that did not offer commercial banking services to the people. These special banks were rarely known to ordinary people too.
However, for the rich and famous in Harbor City, the most familiar institutions that fell under this category were National Bank and SBS Bank. National Bank was the National Development Bank, which was mainly responsible for the domestic loan business of Somerland to other countries and regions.
To put it bluntly, it was to increase international influence and strive for geopolitical superiority in the national financial bank. It specialized in lending money to other poorer countries.
As for national development, it would be SBS Bank. Its business was more comprehensive and systematic, and correspondingly, its powers were also greater.
This was especially true for its power over the foreign exchange reserves, which gave it part of the functions of a central bank. Therefore, among the several special banks, SBS Bank was definitely the most superior.
Therefore, when they heard the contents of Jasper’s call through the video call, everyone present was relieved.
Everyone knew that Jasper was backed by the mainland and Swallow Capital would never sit idly by during this situation, but there was still no clear attitude and plan, which would make anyone still feel nervous. Now that they had a guarantee, they did not harbor anymore doubts.
“Okay, Mr. Carson, please wait for my instructions.” After saying this, Jasper temporarily hung up the phone. Then, favonovel.com said to a group of Harbor City big shots in the video, “Everyone, are you much more relieved now?”
Mr. Boyle laughed and said, “Jasper, it’s not that we don’t believe you, but it’s better to be safe when it comes to such a big thing, don’t you think?”
Jasper smiled and said, “Of course. In my opinion, your concerns are completely reasonable. In fact, this is also due to my negligence. I should have personally visited Harbor City to meet you all and listen to your teachings. However, I have too many things to take care of, plus the enemy sitting opposite us didn’t plan to give me much time to rest, so that’s why I didn’t handle this matter appropriately. Please forgive me, elders.”
Whether someone knew how to handle issues, knew how to speak, or was favored by people, all came down to the details.
Jasper’s remarks made everyone present except Zachary smile and feel comfortable. Everything else aside, Jasper’s current status alone made it commendable that favonovel.com could be so humble.
Mr. Boyle smiled, turned his head, and said to Zachary, “Mr. Law, you have found a good son-in-law.”
As soon as these words came out, Zachary glanced at Mr. Boyle and said indifferently, “Why didn’t I know that you’re so talkative before?”
Mr. Boyle regretted what favonovel.com said immediately.
With Jasper’s status, things around favonovel.com were no longer a secret.
Everyone knew that Jasper had a partner in the mainland. Although Jasper having multiple partners was almost an open secret in Harbor City, the openness of this discussion also depended on who they were.
If the subject was the princess of the Laws whereby favonovel.com role was that of the mistress, then it would really be taboo.
“Okay, that’s all for now.”
Zachary waved his hand and said to Jasper happily, “You have a lot of things on your plate, so get on with it. Harbor City is fine, and you don’t have to worry about us. In short, the funds of Harbor City will follow your orders. There won’t be any more mistakes.”
Jasper nodded and said, “I’m sorry to trouble you with this, Uncle Law, I’ll get on with my business.” After favonovel.com said that, the video was cut off.
The atmosphere in the small living room of the villa in Harbor City was much more relaxed now.
However, when everyone was about to make a few jokes to ease the atmosphere, they saw Zachary stand up. “Mr. Boyle, please come with me.”
Zachary smiled at Mr. Boyle, turned his head, and walked toward the door.
Two beads of sweat appeared on Mr. Boyle’s shiny forehead. He looked at the others for help, but the others turned their heads at the same time in a tacit understanding. They were minding their business while smoking, looking at the scenery, and even spacing out.
“You old punks!”
Mr. Boyle muttered angrily, but favonovel.com still had to get up and paced slowly toward the door.
Meanwhile, in Nauritus City, as soon as Jasper finished the video call, favonovel.com turned to see Conrad and Jake waiting at the door.
“Come in.”
Jasper, who felt a little overwrought, sat in his seat.
When took a sip of water from the glass, the two who came through the door handed a report to him.
Holding the warm papers that had just been printed out in his hand, Jasper frowned while drinking water. “More than 2 billion US Dollars was withdrawn from the subprime market just now?”
Jasper put down the glass, looked up at Jake, and asked, “Did you identify the source of the funds?”
Jake said with a strange expression, “I did… It was Hattaway Investment and Management Group”
“Benett…” Jasper was amused.
“It seems that my old friend is not optimistic about the subprime market in the United States either.”
Jasper continued while squinting slightly, “But Benett’s divestment at this time will attract the attention of many forces, especially Wall Street and the Feds. They may even suspect that we have reached some kind of cooperation with Benett.”
“This is our chance,” Conrad said softly.
Jasper pondered for a moment and said, “Invest 80 billion US Dollars into the United States subprime market to go short. Also, notify Harbor City to have them follow up, but the amount cannot exceed 80 billion US Dollars.”
After thinking about it, Jasper picked up the phone and called Reuben.
“Please keep an eye on the United States subprime market immediately. I intend to draw out Layman and Quantum Fund’s main funds to hedge against them. Once the Feds join the game, please take action immediately according to the situation.”
Reuben’s calm but powerful voice came from the other end of the phone, “Got it, but what if other capital on Wall Street join in the game before the Feds while you’re busy fighting against Layman and Quantum Fund?”
Jasper replied decisively, “You don’t need to do anything.”
Reuben said, “But according to our assessment, even with the Harbor City funding, you will not be able to fight Wall Street. The difference in magnitude is too large and you may not be able to hold on until the Feds show up.”
Jasper replied insipidly, “I am the commander-in-chief, and your task is to follow my orders.”
Reuben was silent for a while. Then, favonovel.com said, “I understand.”
After Jasper put down the phone, favonovel.com lifted his head to say to the people in the command room, “Start the operation. We will call this… Operation Slaughter Eagle.”
“Slaughter as in slaughterhouse, and Eagle as in bald eagle.”
